☄️ Ursids · peak Dec 23 · ~10/hr · 🌖 moon 77%

Saturday, December 17, 2078 – December 26, 2078 All day

Peak: December 23, 2078, around 06:00 UTC — up to about 10 meteors an hour under a dark sky. The Moon will be 77% lit: a bright Moon, which will wash out all but the brightest meteors. Meteors seem to come from Ursa Minor; the debris is from Comet Tuttle. A modest shower near the December solstice, for the Northern Hemisphere. Peak times and rates: the International Meteor Organization's working list.
